Well, I stopped at Lowes before I left VA and got an external clamp type pipe repair unit. I clamped it over the leak in the hose (it was easy to find once I refilled the reservior, started the engine, and had someone climb in the back). It stopped it from gushing and slowed it to a slow drip. Apparently, both engine oil and hyd. fluid are tied in to the low oil level light so when the light came back on, I just refilled it. 2 qts got me home (500 mi.). It goes up on the lift tomorrow and out comes the hose. Thanks again...
